Taking on the role of the expert in the treatment of schizophrenia or depression, you will prepare a presentation for a group of physicians who are seeking your opinion on the treatment of patients with these disorders. For this interactive assignment, you will create a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation.

For this presentation, select either schizophrenia as the basis for your presentation. Begin by creating your PowerPoint presentation. In the presentation, include information that explains the neurotransmitter theory behind the disorder and how the drugs used to treat the disorder affect those neurotransmitter systems. Evaluate the risk and benefits of treating a patient with the most common type of medication and of not using drugs to treat the patient. In your evaluation, examine issues such as the rate of success with the most common drugs used as well as the incidence of side effects with these same drugs, including mortality associated with drug use. Then consider not using medications to treat the disorder. Consider the natural course of the illness, the rate of spontaneous recovery, and the rate of mortality when untreated. You may also incorporate the use of other modes of treatment into your evaluation.

Your PowerPoint must include your presenter notes in the notes field to indicate what you intend to say during the screencast and well-chosen images to enhance the understanding of your audience.

Must be in APA 7th formatting, in-text citation, and a reference page. Peer-reviewed/Scholarly references must be within the last ten years. You will not need to record anything, just put the presentation together and the presenter notes.
